I had the plastic fizz soda stream which I replaced at least 3 times because of breakage. I purchased the aarke and use the carbonator and 1 liter plastic bottles from my soda stream with it. **Q: Can you carbonate juice?** A: The official answer is no. It is not recommended by the manufacturer. However, many people have played around and figured out ways to make it work for juice, coffee, tea, and other liquids. You should google the specific juice you want to carbonate and see what others have done. **Q: Does this have a hole in the bottom to connect a hose from a bigger bottle?** A: It utilizes a 60L carbonation container, I use the soda stream one. If the hose had the same fitting on the top, I assume it would work; but I make two liters of water a day with this machine and my current 60L bottle has lasted over 70 days so far! **Q: Are there any glass bottles available? If not will you consider glass in the future?** A: I will not use glass as under its pressure and at work a glass bottle would eventually get broken. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sleek Design and Premium Performance *by K***A on January 3, 2026* The Aarke Carbonator III is a beautifully designed sparkling water machine that delivers both style and performance.

I use it multiple times a day each C02 lasts a few weeks, then i need to replace it. it looks great on my counter. It is so easy to use. no plug or battery. It was a little expensive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good carbonation! Sleek design *by R***N on January 15, 2026* So far, I am really liking this carbonation machine. I got the smaller Aarke stainless steel bottle to use instead of the plastic one. I like putting a lot of carbonation into my water, and the machine does it, though I had to learn about waiting to hear the buzzing sound when I use it. Then give a couple quick pumps - again until it buzzes - without letting any pressure escape. I use distilled water and I find that if I put a little bit of minerals or electrolytes or sodium bicarbonate in it - not so much that I can taste it - it gets even more "poppier"- just like club soda, which was what I bought the carbonator for - so I don't have to buy it anymore (and also so I don't accumulate all the plastic caps and (albeit) glass bottles). This is does the trick! The smaller stainless steel bottle is plenty for a sitting. And then I refill it with the cold water I keep chilling in the fridge for the next time I want more of my homemade club soda. The machine fits nicely under my cabinet and has a nice, sleek design. I got matte black - it doesn't show dirt or fingerprints at all. ## Frequently Bought Together - aarke Carbonator lll with CO2 Cylinder, Sparkling & Carbonation Water Machine, Stainless Steel with PET BPA-Free Reusable Bottle Volume 800 mL (Stainless Steel) - aarke Extra PET Stainless Steel Reusable Bottle for Carbonator l, ll, and 3, BPA-Free and Non-Toxic, 800ml (2-Pack) - aarke CO2 Gas Refill Pack - 2 Cylinders, Carbonator Compatible With Most Sparkling Water Maker Appliances, Soda Machine Parts And Accessories (2-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/439625034-aarke-carbonator-3-sparkling-water-maker-and-co2-cylinder-stainless](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/439625034-aarke-carbonator-3-sparkling-water-maker-and-co2-cylinder-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
